Senator Wilton Guerrero (PLD-Peravia) said yesterday that the chain broke at its weakest link in the judgment against those accused of asset laundering in collusion with Puerto Rican drug capo Jose David Figueroa Agosto. As reported in Hoy, he believes the true people responsible or this mafia has not even been mentioned.
He said he was disappointed at the performance of the judges in this case, especially the performance of the state prosecutors. He said that when some of those accused mentioned one or other big fish, the judges did not allow them to expand on the topics. He said that the people truly behind the impunity, protection and godfathers involved in the Figueroa Agosto network were not mentioned in the trial.
He said that the trial was little more than a "show of bad taste that penalized the least responsible. I am particularly disappointed in the judgment of the court, and more disappointed in the performance of the state prosecutors for the role they have played in covering up the real person responsible for the crimes of this drug trafficking network," he said. He said that of those accused, the one who had the most responsibility was Sobeida Felix Morel, who he said was aware of all the actions and crimes planned by the drug trafficking network. He recalled that Felix Morel even traveled to Puerto Rico, after she was granted bail, and now she is only being sentenced to five years. "All has been a show of bad taste with scripts that were known beforehand," said Guerrero.
For their involvement in the Figueroa Agosto network the First Collegiate Court of the National District sentenced Sammy Dauhajre, Juan Fernandez Ibarra, Mary Pelaez and Ivanovich Smester to 15 years. Eddy Brito received 12 years sentence, Sobeida Felix Morel and Medeline Bernard five years and Adolfina Pelaez was acquitted.
